Opening this space up changed everything.
By removing the existing pergola and shed, natural light was able to return to the home - something that had been missing for a long time. From there, the focus was on rebuilding that structure in a way that worked with the light, not against it.
A new cathedral-style pergola now defines the space - higher, lighter, and proportioned to provide shade without closing things in. The pool has been positioned to one side of the garden, allowing for a generous lawn area alongside it - creating a much more usable layout for both everyday living and entertaining.
Planting is still finding its feet, but the intent is there - layers of texture, movement, and seasonal change that will continue to build over time. Alongside the pool, the garden becomes a little more relaxed - steppers set within Dichondra, planting softening edges, and a space that invites you to slow down and spend time in the garden.
A simple shift from enclosed to open - and a space that now feels easy to live in and use. Our clients were incredibly accomodating throughout this project, and we’re so happy they can now enjoy it together as a family.
